Experts in Retransplant Surgery

Our transplant team is highly experienced in performing retransplant surgery (also called redo transplant) for patients who have already had a transplant and now need another transplant to replace a previously donated organ. Retransplant patients require more careful management than first-time transplant patients because the body is more likely to reject an organ after a second or third transplant.
